Two new items were revealed during the EA Play 👍Live presentation today: A new heirloom and a new lootable item called the Mobile Respawn Beacon.
Today's EA Play Live presentation kicked off with a ton of Apex Legends news and a trailer for a limited-time event called Lost Trꦓeasures Collection, starting next week. Th🍌e trailer highlighted new weapon skins, hero buffs, and a new area called Crypto's Map Room. We also got a look at Mirage's Heirloom weapon and item that is coming first to the limited time game mode: Armed and Dangerous Evolved.
Mirage's heirloom is a golden statu𝓰e of himself wearing a crown(who else?) and has some really unique animations. You can pull a string on the statue and hear a unique Mirage voice liꦜne, or flip a switch under the base of the statue and watch it spin around with lights and fireworks. The inscription on the statue reads "Best Competitors In A Battle Royale." If you say so Mirage, if you say so.

This Collections event, like the ones before it, will introduce 24 exclusive cosmetic items only available through special Lost Treasure Event Packs. Unlike normal Apex Packs, these packs cost a whopping 700 coins each. One event cosmetic is seeded in each event pack, and players will need to purchase all 24 packs (about 17,000 coins worth) in order to unlock the Mirage heirloom✱. Of course, the heirloom can still be unlocked the normal way: by opening normal Apex packs until you find one filled with heirloom shards. You have a 1 in 500 (0.2%) chance of pulling heirloom shards out of a normal pack, but if you find one you can buy any heirloom you'd like.
The o🐼ther big reveal is a brand new lootable item called Mobile Respawn Beacons. These beacons work just like the normal respawn beacons scattered around the map and can be used to respawn dead teammates. They take up 1 inventory spot and can be used anywhere, even in the late game when respawn beacons are no longer available.
Initially, the Mobile Respawn Beacon will only be available in the Armed and Dangerous Evolved game mode. When the event ends, Mobile Respawn Beacons will be added to the normal loot pool around King's Canyon and Wo🦄rld's Edge.
